I have never seen a WMC with a wreath like this before...Comment

Any chance of a pic with the pin down?
At first glance it looks acceptable but there's something about it that I can't put my finger on.Comment

This is the most defined wreath I have ever seen on a KVKI before....
Edit: I have never seen a wreath like this cross that started the thread.Last edited by robert pierce; 04-04-2009, 04:39 PM.Comment

Reverse with pin
Thank you to all who have replied, here is a pic as requested of the reverse with pin in view,I hope this leads to a conclusion,Thanks Barney.Comment

The long thin lower section of the pin look a little like either a Schickle or a Deumer. But the mid to upper section are not typical to either maker. Deumer usually always ends their pin ends with a slight bevel, and Schickle with a 'V' tip. I honestly have doubts regarding this cross, willing to call it a repro. I'm open for correction.Comment

I agree with you Robert, I can't remember a pin like this on an original cross but I can't nail it to a repro either. Is it me or does the catch look unusual (on the large side) too?Originally posted by robert pierce View PostComment

It looks on the large side, yes. The finish is very nice too. Not that that would be a problem. But, on a cross that we cannot identify, that's not good.Comment
-
I also never seen this KvK before, but I am not really into KvK's
But that rust coming though the finish on the solder of the hinge botters me the most.Comment
-
Can't place this one either. The closest I can think of is a fake Floch.......
